It is the intention of the following paper to delve into the problem of the progressing radicalization of the American political discourse from the perspective of linguistic, cultural and political studies. I will probe into the rhetorical coarseness and specious persuasive strategies of Donald Trump’s discourse, for he has taken the American political scene by storm. The issues related with popular entertainment, culture of the new anger, political correctness or hate speech, together with their social ramifications, will be taken into scrutiny. It remains beyond doubt that the quality of public and political debate has a tangible effect on the society as a whole, which is why it is necessary to understand rhetorical manifestations of the latest trends in public discourses as well as their aftereffects.

My venturing into public discussions on the intersection between religion and politics is not something that I chose, but rather something I felt obliged to do after 9/11. Prior to then, I’d been dealing with many of the pathologies within the Muslim community, but as I began to see who was emerging as “spokespersons” for my faith after 9/11, I had to do something; hence the formation of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy.

Following the tragic events of the September 11, a myriad of symposiums, conferences and round tables have been organized with the purpose of shedding some light onto the position American Muslims now find themselves in, while making the rest of Americans more aware of their existence. As all those academic gatherings emphasized, the September 11 attacks not only committed violence against the United States and dealt a severe blow to the entire American society, but, were, at the same time, intended to stigmatize and isolate American Muslims from the rest of American society. It has been no secret that American Muslims are pro-active, well-off, pious and - what’s particularly interesting – the most diversified
American community, made up of 60 different ethnic groups with a variety of races, colors, cultures and languages.

Amr ibn al-Âs occupies a significant place in the history of Islam and hadith. He played a crucial role in the political events during the early times of Islam and also narrated numerous hadiths from the Prophet. Despite having fought against the Prophet before becoming Muslim, he made great contributions to Islam after he embraced Islam. He was one of the commanders who conquered Syria, Palestine and Egypt. There have been many discussions and discourses on him regarding his political character and he is object to certain critics as well. In this study, this article examined the self criticism.

Problem invasion of Europe by Muslims and the specific alteration Europe's Christian, as how much is left, it was not analyzed nor discussed extensively in the press, perhaps under a manifestation of political correctness misunderstood, actually transformed into a culpable self-censorship. But the phenomenon is real invasion is far-reaching and serious consequences are only partly unpredictable. The demographic structure of Europe will change radically in a short time, which will lead to the disappearance of a civilization, its values and all, European civilization which was for centuries a forerunner of civilization and world culture, and imperceptibly replace it with another civilization, under the hypnotized, abulic and confusion of those condemned to extinction, with the complicit silence of the press and political parties dominant. It cannot accept this in the name of "globalization" because globalization is a pretext for seizing control of resources and population of the entire planet by a single power pole, not a humanitarian. Globalization will certainly fail in a kind of cynical and criminal policy, as former "proletarian internationalism". To succeed, globalization should be a religion, but it is obvious that in reality is not a religion, but a simple affair, perhaps the onerous biggest deal in the history of humanity.

It would be hard to find a successful Islamic democracy in the world map. Yet, there is at least one great exception. It is Indonesia with population of around 260 million, of whom close to 90% are Muslims. After the military dictatorship was overthrown in 1998, the democratic institutions were restored and the democratic image of the country was re-established. In the great extent the state of Indonesia is an artificial body of islands with different ethnicities living there, and embracing different religions. Its history boasts with ancient empires which spread their Buddhist, or
Hindu culture to the distant parts of the vast archipelago.

Reflections over Jewish community in Poland were visible in Polish political thought of the first half of the 20th century. "Pro Christo” monthly, was one of the most important anti-Semitic magazines in interwar Poland, connected with Nation-al-Radical Movement "Falanga” and its leader Bolesław Piasecki, most significant editor-in-chief was roman-catholic priest Jerzy Pawski. "Pro Christo” was publishing articles criticizing Jews, editors were referring to "Protokoły Mędrców Syjonu”, repeating the stereotypical views on Jews, like their role in partitions of Poland, creating freemasonry and communism. The paper was trying to warn Polish nation against communist danger, connected with Jews, emphasizing that Jews should leave Poland. According to authors that emigration should be compulsory.

It seemed to be that at the beginning of 50s relations between communist authorities and Roman Catholic Church became more stable. The agreement was signed on 14th April, 1950; claimed that the Roman Catholic Church would not stand up to authorities policy instead Religion Education would be taught in schools moreover, secular and clergy teachers would be respected at the same level. However, the obligations were ignored by authorities when clergy felt an aversion to the Stockholm appeal which was passed and signed during the III Session of World Peace Council in March, 1950. They did not manage to include episcopate into it, signatures of support were being collected as well thanks to Provincial Committee of Peace Offenders. Priests from Białystok province were critical, only few of them took part in actions by the District and Country Peace Committees.

It has been more than a year since the first clashes in Syria started and the situation is subsequently turning into an epicentre of the whole Middle Eastern problems. The events in Syria become the cross of interests of various groups since many crucial, regional issues focus there. Syrian drama goes on two dimensions: internal and external. On the internal basis it is a popular uprising that aims at toppling the repressive regime. Regional consequences of these changes, though, demand revising the contemporary approaches in analysing politcs in the Middle East, in order to take into account new tendencies shaping potentially new power system. The approaches that did not allow to predict or embrace these mass movements leading to the collapse of the main political actors of the Middle East – authoritarian regimes and potential consequences of such events. These common approaches – discourses of understanding the Middle Eastern politics will be presented in the article in order to question and analyse their relevance. Adoption of this critical stance leads to more fruitful cognition of the nature of the on-going changes in the Middle East. Article’s thesis is that the notion of Sunni-Shia rivalry as the main force shaping Arab and Middle Eastern policy is not valid and efficient as an analytical tool. The objective is to emphasise multidimensionality and complexity of forces modelling contemporary Middle East.

This study discusses the changes in the structure of the Roman-Catholic Archdiocese of Bucharest between 1918 and 1948; these changes affected both the religious life and the geographical borders imposed at the end of World War I, as well as the establishment of a new ecclesiastical province with its own bishopdoms – a situation that emerged because of the changes occurring in European states through international treaties. At the end of the Great War, it was imperative for Latin Catholic diocese boundaries to be reconsidered, all the more so since, after the war and the annexation of the historical territories, Greater Romania was born. As a result, parts of the Catholic ecclesiastical provinces which were under the jurisdiction of some archbishops in Hungary were then included in the Kingdom of Romania.
